The Montana Shooting Sports Association says principled voters should vote for Ron Paul over John McCain or Barack Obama...Glad to see the term getting wider use.
But the MSSA says "pragmatic" voters should choose McCain, because he is not as bad on gun issues as Obama.
The hatred against Dr. Paul from some of these pragmatic voters is still popping up--I just saw him contemptuously described as a "bizarre little man" the other day on one "gun blog." Others continue on the theme that he's a racist, or a "troofer," and one actually resorted to making fun of Paul backers by publishing the photo of a heavyset female supporter and ridiculing her weight.
I guess you can

I guess you can take your lead from that.
I won't write in Paul because he doesn't want it. My preference doesn't matter--it's his choice, not mine.
My advice continues to be: Vote your informed conscience. Because whether we compromise and go lesser of two evils, whether we sit on our hands, whether we go third party, it will affect the results--and we will share in moral responsibility for what follows if our decision helped enable it.
But then again, what do I know? I think it's been pretty well-established that I'm a rigid, "SNBI!"-shouting extremist.
